- Magnusson’s 300-page monograph Sonic Writing is the outcome of an AHRC-funded Leadership Fellowship. This is a media archaeological and genealogical study into the musical media of the 21st century, tracing their origins back to early musical history. As part of his fellowship research Magnusson also organised a series of symposia and conferences that explored the topics of material (e.g. instruments), symbolic (e.g. notation) and signal (e.g. recording) inscriptions of musical practice. The book proposes a new theory of the nature of music technologies, setting the conceptual scene for a study of 21st-century development of musical instruments with AI.
